The Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan is set to undergo a significant transformation with a $10 billion replacement project, officially marked by a groundbreaking event attended by officials from New York and New Jersey. The new terminal, expected to take 10 years to complete, aims to enhance the commuter experience and elevate the facility to world-class standards. Key speakers emphasized the historical inadequacy of the current terminal and the community's need for a modern transportation hub. This project marks the conclusion of a prolonged effort that included previously unsuccessful attempts to replace the outdated facility.
Many speakers mentioned the rough road to get to the ground breaking. Hochul talked about unsuccessful replacement projects in 2007 and 2013, the last being bitterly opposed by the community for the amount of property that would have been condemned.
This project has been needed for decades. When we're done, we'll have a transportation center this region can finally be proud of.
